The Society's September meeting will be Sunday October 9 , 2011 @ 2:00PM in one of the upper meeting rooms of the Desert Living Center at the Springs Preserve. 333 S. Valley View Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89107. If we can manage it, we'll try to post more specific location information when it is made available to us. (There are half a dozen meeting rooms of this description.) Otherwise just show up and wander around. We'll find each other.
Our October presenter will be "friend of society" honorary member, Woody Minnich. He will be speaking of the flora and fauna of Peru. Notes and a biography are included in the October newsletter again ably put together by Donny Barnett.
Several fine images of cacti and the sky are included in our newsletter as are a flier for the cactus show, art fair, and sale at Moon-Sun Landscapes to be held in conjuction with us. It is October 15,16 at the Moon-Sun facility. The plant show rules and entry form are in the newsletter. We had maybe 30 plants entered in the show in the Spring ranging from novice to expert entries. Everyone is encouraged to enter a plant or three. Tips for preparing your plant are included in the newsletter -- and as Joey Betzler, frequent judge and show coordinator says: "Bring it as long as it is pest free and not leaking odd fluids.". I think i heard him say that anyway.
The website editor's pithyness managed to generate an external comment last month but I'm feeling sadly lacking in pithiness (which spelling is it?) this month. So, Viki has been working too hard on brownies in the last few meetings, hows about someone bringing some refreshments so that Bob Furtek will show up? Apparently the Orchid society has better food than us -- oh the humanity!
